Unions were essential to the development of our country. They improved peoples quality of life immensly. These same checks are not longer necessary in most industries, but in some they are. It makes for great discussion.
EDIT: I say "our country" meaning "my country," the US. Sorry I wasn't specific.

Interesting Post, thanks for the material to debate with. There are currently only a few unions blocking safety improvement for companies in canada... but they are indeed doing just that. They are blocking safety efforts by management ... because to do some work more safely, they would have to accept change to some old trade oriented jurisdictional boundaries... and the employees don;t want that.... and the accidents continue to happen.... it's sad ....
